$18.00

20.48%

Worley is performing in line with expectations, with Citi upgrading EPS forecasts mainly due to a $500m buyback and improved capital investment return assumptions.

The broker points to a strengthening market position as competitors face financial difficulties, improving pricing power and margins.

Citi raises FY26 EBITA margin forecasts to 8.8% from 8.5%, with core EPS estimates up 2% for FY25 and 12% for FY26.

The broker believes the company remains attractively valued despite over a 10% rally, trading at 16.3x forward PE, below its historical 17.3x average.

Citi maintains a Buy rating with a target price of $18.00.

***

At first glance by Citi, Worley's 1H25 results showed a weaker-than-expected $12.7bn backlog, though excluding NorthVolt, backlog grew by $0.5bn.

The broker notes revenue was in line but skewed toward lower-margin procurement, while EBITDA margins of 8.4% beat the 7.8% forecast, driving earnings in line with consensus.

Margins are nearing the 9% target for this cycle, shifting the earnings focus to top-line momentum. Management reaffirmed double-digit earnings growth guidance and signalled confidence with a $500m share buyback for FY25.

Citi notes offshore peers have underperformed, contributing to the stock's weakness, but sees the $14 share price as positive given the result. DPS of 25c was in line.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 50.00 cents and EPS of 76.30 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 58.50 cents and EPS of 102.20 cents.

20.48%

Worley reported earnings (EBITA) which met Goldman Sachs’ estimates, with margins improving to 8.4% for 1H25.

Cash conversion remained strong at 97.5%. The analyst highlights political uncertainty and customer caution affected sustainability-related projects, but traditional and transitional work drove a 42% and 83% increase, respectively, in the factored sales pipeline.

The broker highlights the company's backlog declined to $12.7bn from $13.8bn due to -$2bn in cancellations, including Northvolt’s battery materials project.

Despite this, wins and scope increases exceeded backlog deliveries, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.14x.

A $500m share buyback, representing 7% of market capitalisation, was announced. Management guidance was unchanged.

No change to the Buy rating or $18 target price.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 55.00 cents and EPS of 80.00 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 66.00 cents and EPS of 99.00 cents.
